More different
omething undesirable is 'ishy', it is customary to end a sentence with 'then' and if you are unsure of something, well, it is 'interesting'. To say "That's interesting" is one of the many ways that 'Minnesota nice' plays out. Even though it can be read as 'I don't really like it', most of the time it means 'Give me a little time to adjust'. It is an opening, an openness (ever so slight) to something different.
As I invite you to experience different by breaking your routine, or setting an inspiration date, my hope is that you can see things as 'interesting'. Interesting in the slightly open sense. Just give yourself permission to be open. Let your openness be the lens through which you see and experience.
That's it. Let me know how it goes. I love hearing your stories of inspiration.
I have worked as an 'artist' across fields such as advertising, graphics, theatre, apparel, interior, and landscape design. I have been painting and showing my art in galleries since 2000. In addition to being a fine artist, I have spent the last 13 years facilitating creativity and business groups in the Pacific Northwest and other places where innovative thinking and organizational team building abounds.
